I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

Sunday Brunch Recipes – Baked French Toast with Blueberries

Last night I whipped up a batch of Baked French Toast, only this time I added in a cup of blueberries to shake things up a bit. And oh my was it good this morning when we dug into it. Yum! If you have not tried this recipe for baked french toast yet, you are seriously missing out.

Generously butter an 8×8 baking dish. Cut bread into 2″ cubes and toss into the buttered dish. In a small bowl, combined the eggs, milk, whipping cream, , blueberries, and vanilla. Pour egg mixture over bread. Cover with saran wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight.

For the topping, combined the flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt and butter together in a bowl. Use the tips of your fingers {or a pastry blender*} and mix until everything is combined and you have nice, fat, spiced butter crumbles. Place the topping in a zip baggie and place in the refrigerator.

The next morning, preheat the oven to 350. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar topping over french toast mixture and bake for 50 minutes.
